Quotes (from this video)

• this is one of those ones where I'm like I don't I don't ever see myself getting rid of it. I I always come back to this. It's kind of like a Splendor killer in the house.
• You have to kind of take your ego out of it, too, though.
• We've got a lot of the booth dedicated to showing that um game off and then we also run Whisper Stone events at Gen Con. So, we've got the booth and we've got events and it's it's sort of a well-oiled machine at this point.
• Gen Con is kind of like our New Year. It sort of feels like, you know, those winter holiday times where it's like, 'Oh, the fruits of our labor. We've had a big long year and then we're at Gen Con and we're showing off the new titles which are often released in limited run there and we're really gearing up for the year ahead.'
• And so it's a great social event, but it's also a great kind of marketing research event.
• And there's an undeniable special quality, I think, that's still preserved in tabletop games that isn't really there in other industries where there's the accessibility.
• Don't worry, I got Whisper Stone questions. I ended up playing it at uh PAX Unplugged last year at least a a demo version that you guys had.
• You know, like you hear about authors doing where you know, like Tolkien famously never threw away anything. He'd have an idea and he'd be like, this isn't working here. So he'd you know, tuck it into a drawer only for his son to you know, uncover years later and be like, this is how orcs are made.
• And the artwork is no joke in this game.
• Not everything should just be jammed out as quick as possible, and especially if it's game that you personally really want to play.
• The Flat Out Games story is uh, something that uh uh, is inspirational for so many designers out there, so many developers, publishers out there.
